that the pump will not bleed after a few trials,
proceed as outlined under Hydraulic System
Checks.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CHECKS
The following procedure outlines methods to identify
and isolate power steering hydraulic circuit difficulties.
The test provides means of determining whether power
steering system hydraulic parts are actually faulty, this
test will result in readings indicating faulty hydraulic
operation, and will help to identify the faulty
component.
Before performing hydraulic circuit test, carefully check
belt tension, fluid level and condition of driving pulley.
Power Steering Hydraulic System Test
Engine must be at normal operating temperature. Inflate
front tires to correct pressure. All tests are made with
engine idling, check idle adjustment and if necessary
adjust engine idle speed to correct specifications listed in
Section 6M and proceed as follows:
1. With engine NOT running disconnect pressure hose
from pump and install Tool J-5176 using a spare
pressure hose between gauge and pump. Gauge
must be between shut-off valve and pump. Open
shut-off valve.
2. Remove filler cap from pump reservoir and check
fluid level. Fill pump reservoir to full mark on dip
stick. Start engine and, momentarily holding
steering wheel against stop, check connections at
Tool J-5176 for leakage.
3. Bleed system as outlined under Maintenance and
Adjustments.
4. Insert thermometer (Tool J-5421) in reservoir filler
opening. Move steering wheel from stop to stop
several times until thermometer indicates that
hydraulic fluid in reservoir has reached temperature
of 150° to 170°F.
CAUTIO N:
To prevent scrubbing flat spots on
tires, do not turn steering wheel more than five
times without rolling vehicle to change tire-to-
floor contact area.
5. Start engine and check fluid level adding any fluid
if required. When engine is at normal operating
temperature, the initial pressure read on the gage
(valve open) should be in the 80-125 PSI range.
Should this pressure be in excess of 200 PSI - check
the hoses for restrictions and the poppet valve for
proper assembly.
6. Close gate valve fully 3 times. Record the highest
pressures attained each time. (Note: do not leave
valve fully closed for more than 5 seconds as the
pump could be damaged internally).
a. If the pressures recorded are within the listed
specs and the range of readings are within 50
PSI, the pump is functioning within specs. (Ex.
Spec. 1250 - 1350 PSI - readings - 1270 - 1275 -
1280).
b. If the pressures recorded are high, but do not
repeat within 50 PSI, the flow controlling valve
is sticking. Remove the valve, clean it and
remove any burrs using crocus cloth or fine
hone. If the system contains some dirt, flush it.
If it is exceptionally dirty, both the pump and
the gear must be completely disassembled,
cleaned, flushed and reassembled before further
usage.
c. If the pressures recorded are constant, but more
than 100 PSI, below the low listed spec., replace
the flow control valve and recheck. If the
pressures are still low, replace the rotating group
in the pump.
7. If the pump checks within specifications, leave the
valve open and turn (or have turned) the steering
wheel into both corners. Record the highest
pressures and compare with the maximum pump
pressure recorded. If this pressure cannot be built in
either (or one) side of the gear, the gear is leaking
internally and must be disassembled and repaired.
See the current Overhaul Manual.
8. Shut off engine, remove testing gage, spare hose,
reconnect pressure hose, check fluid level and/or
make needed repairs.
